DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 10. "RE: Flaps...." 06-08-02, 00:26z  Dave Hamblin (formerly DaveH on old site!) Everyone told me (other than my CFI) how difficult 40 degree of flaps would be and go-arounds hard etc etc. "Thats why they don't ave 40 degrees anymore" I have been told. Well, as we began to practice when we got the 150; I found 40 degree landings to be easier (once the steep approach "picture" was gotten used to!) and go-arounds weren't all that bad. When I soloed all three landings were 40 degree (by my choice). Having said that, if I decide up front to do a 40 degree flap landing, I will turn base/final a lot sooner than if its a no-flap or 15 degree flap approach.
